Hi there...
This pic belongs to a female patient and the query is posed by a male patient.
So assumed this is a relative of yours who has this itchy skin condition for 10 years.
Much more details are needed on history and some more pics of good quality and lighting to appreciate this better.
Please consider consulting a Senior Qualified Dermatologist near you as this does not seem a run-of-the-mill issue and may also require a skin biopsy and Histopathological Analysis.
